```
The test failed on AIX (and likely other OS, such as apparently OSX)
where wc -l outputs whitespace.

Also, avoid unnecessary eval in conflict_count().

Changed.

Changed.

Mike, could you please confirm that this solves your problem as well?

ACK.  This test does break on OS X and this patch fixes it.

Took me a while to realize why it was saying "8: command not found".   
Apparently "resolve_count= 8" means something very different than  
"resolve_count=8".  Then I remembered seeing a patch recently that hit  
conflict_count and I didn't have to think about how to fix it.

Thanks,
~~ Brian
